wheat and corn production for cereal crops throughout Sub Saharan Africa.

Dr. Desta received his Ph.D in Precision Sensing Technologies at Oklahoma
State University, and was one of the first scientists in the world to
identify specific spectral indices capable of recognizing cheat in wheat,
and ryegrass in wheat production environments.
